Heat vegetable oil to 325 degrees.

Sift together the dry ingredients in a large bowl.

Beat in the egg and milk, then dump in the corn.

Stir to combine well.

Drop the mixture into the fryer 1 tablespoon at a time. Drop 3 - 5 spoons per batch.

When the fritters are golden brown and floating remove from the fryer and place on a paper towel line plate to drain.

Serve warm with syrup or honey.
